Brittany & Frank 12/4/2005 Trip Report - Finally Complete May 2008!!

[faeriegrl]

I know I don't post here at all but I wanted to share some of our wedding recaps here.

What you're reading, I wrote right after the wedding up until now. Photos will be included!

We are married! Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Every single detail could not have been more awesome. I am posting the first set of recaps and I will finish them when I am back from our honeymoon and our blissful wedding trip!

...

Tuesday, Nov. 29

On Monday I went ahead and requested Tuesday and Wednesday off, making Monday my last day at work. Tuesday came quite early and I had to get started on the place cards, programs, and menus. We had already finished a few of the other projects. And the T-shirt transfers I had printed didn’t turn out because I printed them on the wrong side of the paper. So project I thought I’d be able to delegate didn’t work out for me.

My dad asked me to have lunch with him so we went to Cheesecake Factory. It was great spending time but I had to get back to work at their house.

The day flew by and everything was cool.

Wednesday

I had been up until 2am getting the shirts done and my dad wanted to have breakfast. He dragged me out of bed and we went to McDonald’s. We also had to stop and check on his rental car since his car isn’t suitable for long trips in it’s old age.

I went to Franks’ and my house and began laundry. He was totally packed. I sat down on the computer to check my email to find out about dropping China off to be dogsat and the internet didn’t work. I tried to fix it to no avail.

I don’t want to go into all the gory details but that night we had the biggest fight of our relationship. We were finally too tired to fight anymore (which was a first) so we headed to my parents house to get the things we needed to take from there.

Thursday

5:30 rolled around fast. Just too fast, in fact, that I slept up until 6:30 and we walked out the door at 7:15.

We talked the entire way down to Florida and we did not caravan with anyone. Number one, my family is horrible to travel with and two, Frank and I needed to hammer this one out.

By the time we were in Orlando, all was well and we headed to the courthouse to obtain our marriage license. Yes, they take credit cards now. No, you can’t tell them if you are assuming a new name in Florida. But you can in GA. So now we have to go thru some stuff in GA to get his birth father’s name dropped from his name.

We got checked in to the Contemporary and Frank and I got on the Monorail after unpacking. He gets a call just as we pull into the transportation center. It’s his mom and Frank just starts tearing up. Off the monorail- I just shoved him out the door. I had to find a corner so he could talk on the phone.

Then I realized- it’s his mom, she is drunk, and she has told him she does not support our marriage and is not coming to the wedding. I am hurting for Frank at this point. Her not being there creates a ton of emotions.
_________________________

Shhh!

Frank is in the shower so I am sneaking these to you all. Thanks for the comments. I don't even know what I looked like so ... weeeee! Everything was perfect. I will have more later but they will be all "Glad's" after this!

Glad I Did:

Patken Photographer
-Evan was spectacular. He had an awesome attitude and kept us laughing. He really allowed us to have a great time.

Cinderella’s Coach
-The $2500 is a hard pill to swallow but it just made my day. There were little girls running after me yelling “Cinderella” and it just put me on top of the world. True awe factor

Grand I
-We really needed a moment alone between the ceremony and reception and the Grand I was perfect. We rode on the front and took Evan with us. I also ordered some sparkling cider for the ride which was absolutely necessary. The crew was great!

Complained for a better WP.
-Ken Weaver is awesome. He is so sweet but realistic and I don’t know what I would have done had I stuck with the prior WP we had. Ken made the day.

Booked the GF for our wedding night:
-Even though it’s complimentary, it was awesome being escorted to a Clarendon room, right past Walt Disney’s Suite.

Figment
-This was the highlight of my day. He really made me smile and laugh and I almost cried. He is no longer available for weddings since a new edict was put in place for all Epcot Characters.

Skipped ceremony décor
-I don’t even know what it looked like. I was not paying attention and spending just a few hundred dollars on this was awesome. Flowers die.

Used Danielle of Dream Designs
-I can’t believe how in love I was with my bouquet. I didn’t care about it until I saw it and it was more beautiful that I could have ever hoped for. She was great, too.

Kept the guest list down
-I got to see everyone and spend a moment with them. It would have been hard if there were any more people than the 70 we had.


Wish I had

Booked our hotel differently
-Transferring hotels is a pain in the butt. We had a ton of luggage, especially since we drove. The bellmen were none too happy about it.

Not used the motorcoach
- Oh, about 12 people rode on the bus. Waste of money for me since most people rented cars. It would be different if our locations were farther apart though.

__________________________________

…Frank calls back and wanted to talk to his dad. He tells his dad he will call back in a few hours, hopefully she will sober up. By the time he called back, she had passed out in bed.

In their previous conversation, his mom said she would absolutely not support “this marriage” and if she came, it would be under the pretense she did not support it. We already figured that out. Frank really stood up for himself and told her he doesn’t want to hear a peep out of her and she just grunted I guess.

At long last, Frank told his dad (also one of our co-best men) to call in the morning if there were problems getting her onto the plane.

Friday

Friday morning came early. My mom was up about 7am so I guess it’s time to get up and start milling about. I had forgotten exactly what was weighing heavily on my heart and I remembered that Frank was supposed to get a phone call. My mom calls up to their room (my dad and Frank were rooming together) and nope, they were both still asleep. No phone call, I come to find out. OK that means she got on the plane.

Frank and I decided we wanted to spend some good R&R time with my moh/sister Nicole and her hubby (GM) Rob. So we went to MK and then hit up MGM. My sister has an infant so the time was cut at about 2pm, after we had met up with Frank’s friend and his gf from NYC. We had a blast and my sister is scared to death of rides. She said this was her day to let down her guard. So ToT and RnR was it. She loved RnR and was absolutely terrified (no joke) at ToT. No biggie. The picture we got was awesome but I wouldn’t pay for it. I still have to get up the nerve to posting our park visit pictures.

We get a phone call from Shirley that they’ve “checked into the ghetto” (i.e. Mighty Ducks at All Star). Mind you, she was the one too cheap to get a nicer room and refused to rent a car. What did you expect? I told you up front what it was.

Whatever. Time for the bachelorette party. Candace calls and says we are going to Epcot because she thought that would be good, clean fun. OK cool. She is my oldest sister. My next oldest sister, Katie, said it was a lame idea and no way would it be fun without getting smashed. Right. Ok. She showed up, we walked around with a few other girls that were invited to the wedding and it was awesome. Nicole was super excited with illuminations and we did end up having Robby with us. It was fine and he slept right through the fireworks. He is the best baby ever.

While we were at the bachelorette party, my parents, Frank's parents, and my grandparents had a priority seating at Citrico's. On their way in, some random stranger handed Frank's mom a longstem rose. When they got to the counter, Lo and behold, they could not "find" the reservation but Candace had made it and had the confirmation number. So after 15 minutes on the phone with them, Candace got them "upgraded" to the chef's private table there. Frank's mom was loving it apparantly.

Frank's mom has a brother. The lady he married is a very successful travel agent and books the Dolphin under contract with them. They upgraded her and Frank's uncle to the presidential suite. It's a two story, four bedroom suite that takes up the top of the "triangle" on the top of the Dolphin. They invited Frank's parents to stay with them. Lesli (BM/Frank's sister) and her fiance also went there to stay. It was delightful to say the least, and the room was very nice. It was styled more along the lines of Coronado Springs, not the Grand Floridian. It wasn't extravagant, it was more back-woods, rustic styling. It was incredibly gorgeous. Frank and I hoped this was the break his mom needed to see this was the right thing. We went over to check it out and to say hello but his parents were not there.

His aunt and uncle had received a huge arrangement of thanks from The Dolphin and she gave it to me since they'd be leaving the next day. This arrangement followed Frank and I around for 4 days and it was stunning.

More in a bit...

 

[faeriegrl]

Before we left town, we picked out a car to drive that would hold all the stuff we needed to take. We didn't ship anything and I made most of everything- so there was a lot of stuff!

This got us lots of thumbs up on the way down. Even a cop bleeped his siren with two thumbs up! It was awesome to have everyone else so excited for us!

--------------------------------

Internet crashed this morning. It's my birthday for 15 more minutes and I wanted to do *some* recaps.

Here's some more:

Saturday

I slept in a bit because today was going to be busy. Carolyn Allen herself showed up at 1:00 to steam my gown and veil. It really was fine since we drove but it was nice to have it just perfect before the wedding. She was really nice.

The rehearsal was at 2. I requested we have it in a convention center room at the Contemporary. Unlike a lot of brides who do the GF for everything, I wanted to use the Contemporary because it’s so much less busy. I had made t-shirts for everyone but of course I forgot mine!!

Frank’s mom actually put hers on but starting whining to Nicole that Frank’s was purple. OMG. It’s dark blue. Nicole says, “Periwinkle is a shade of blue.” His mom just mumbled on.

Glen, the other best man, brought a ball and chain for Frank to wear. It was funny, especially when the ball flew off and rolled halfway across the room.

I was 10x more nervous at the rehearsal than I was on the actual wedding day. This was my first time meeting Ken face to face. He is really a handsome, calm guy. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner!

He got everyone into their place- including all of the smokers who kept trying to leave when stuff was happening.

We rehearsed from the altar down, and then from the doors up. They set up a nice water station with candy, notepads, and pens. Candace stole the notepads and pens! She is hilarious! Don’t eat the dark purple candy- it’s black licorice. I spit mine out. I of course scoped out the room a few hours prior to rehearsal to get our stuff there that Ken needed to take. We had three large Sterilite containers. Tons of stuff!

---------------------

 

[faeriegrl]

I am still waiting on the photos from Patken. Evan was absolutely spectacular and I would hire him for anything, anytime. I can't believe the deal we got, either!

My grandma took pics and those are what I am posting until I get some more.



After we got ready at the Contemporary convention center, we had two cars picking us up there. It was quite a hike from our room to the convention room we got ready at. I must mention how glad I am that I got ready alone. Lisa has truly become a friend and a total doll!

We walked out to the car, realizing we had two extra people with us that we didn't count on- MIL and Beth, My best friend's MIL who is a sweetheart. They all squeezed into two Towncars. I do not like Limos so this was the best option for everyone.

The guys were getting their photos done at this time:

Nicole showed me she had my ring and Ira (BM/FIL) had Franks. So they had to switch before the ceremony. No biggie. We were stuffed in the car and it's not quite as hard to get in and out as I had imagined. There is a method. Future brides take note- I had a huge gown and Cathedrel length veil. Bend down, pick up the dress from the inside of the crinoline and pull it up to your waist so they can see your lower legs. have someone pick up the veil and put it on top of you if it's long!

So we're off. We arrive at the GF main drive and they keep me in the car to make sure the coast is clear. Ken's assistants were totally sweet. It felt awesome not having to think about anything. They told me where to go, how to act, if I looked OK and it was so good to have directors for the show.

My sister (BM) Candace had brought a ton of bags and wanted to have someone take them to the WP. The assistant said nope, and I had known this which was why I didn't bring much on the day of.

We walked over to the Grand Staircase and so many people were gawking and smiling and laughing. It was so sweet.

I really loved the Disney photo on the wedding website with the girls on the piano... so I had to have my own.

I waited by the table and mirror and saw a guy in a suit. Oh no. I thought it was a GM. Nope, just a BM's fiance. No biggie. Then I saw my dad coming through the doors. He hadn't seen me yet.

His face just sank and he turned red and his eyes welled up with tears and snot starting running out of his nose and he blubbered, "Oh my gosh, my baby, you are so beautiful" and he just cried and held me. It was really sweet and I think Evan got a pic. I was totally calm until I saw my dad. That was the most emotional moment of the day. I started wondering what Frank was doing, how he was feeling, if he was nervous or excited. I later found out he was so excited to marry me. I was extremely calm and reserved with no butterflies. It was perfect.

We lined up on the stairs for photos with Evan. I must tell you, I recommend Evan highly. I know their other photographers are rude but wow was he awesome. Everyone adored him! He is good at getting people lined up quickly and also setting up the photos I wanted so badly!

This one lady walked past me down the stairs and said, "Nice dress." Then she realized it wasn't exactly the nicest thing and said, "And you look good too." I couldn't help but laugh. She had gotten herself in a corner while she was trying to be nice. I said, "Thanks, don't feel bad, no big deal." I am sure she felt like an ***. It made me laugh.


We all headed outside once the guys were at the WP so they couldn't see me!

This is my formal bridal portraiture I wanted:

Here is my aunt woo and coco (grandma) sneaking up to see the Bride at the GF before walking to the WP.

We started taking the beach photos I wanted. I will add to the thread as soon as I get them uploaded.

And we're almost done taking photos when I see it... I forgot I had ordered all these extras. There are a few moments throughout the day that were really the best things I did. This was one of them. There it was. MY carriage. It didn't matter how many brides before and after me were using it. But for a mere $2500 and one hour, here she was. And it was for me. All those years ago I dreamed of riding in the carriage and it was my turn.

 

[faeriegrl]

So my dad and I are walking towards the carriage. I see a broom on the back. I guess this is for horse crap.

We got up in the carriage. I bumped my head on this stupid light on the inside of it. Ouch. Whatever. That thing is SMALL. Whoever said you can fit three adults must weigh 100 lbs. My gown was also huge so it took up the entire one side. I don't know how Frank got in later!

We are waiting to move and all these little girls are walking by. My dad and I start talking about how I was that age, at that doorway, when I saw the carriage. I felt bad for all the dads with little girls who decided when they saw me, they wanted to get married at Disney. Hahahah! My dad lost it too.

We start moving. We went through the main drive at the GF and little girls began running after me. They were yelling, "Cinderella, please come back!!" It was the sweetest moment of the day. I felt like royalty and I was totally soaking it up. I milked it for all it was worth and I didn't feel an ounce of guilt. I am usually really embarrased and shy about that kind of attention but for $2500 I had better enjoy it. And I did. It was really special.

My dad and I talked the entire way over.

Before I knew it, I could see the WP. Stan was running beside us to get footage. Poor guy, I thought. Little Evan was a doll, just working with what he had. He was awesome, again. I can't say that enough.

All of a sudden, we're at the WP. I can't believe it.

And then I saw Ken! I was so excited to see him! I knew it would be awesome once I saw him.

I decide I want my mom (step mom) and dad to walk me across.

A few steps into it, I see my real mom and wonder if I hurt her feelings by not choosing her to walk me. It was surreal.

My step mom steps aside when my real mom said to my dad, "This was her dream and I wanted to thank you for giving it to her." She was a soppy mess.

I tried to keep calm and just do whatever I was told. Then there was Ken again. He was showing me to the bride's vestibule. Wow. I'm the bride. COOL!

 

[faeriegrl]

Upon arriving on the "other side" of the bridge, I went into the Bride's vestible. Of course I wanted to be in the Rose Room but my girls had already moved themselves in. I realized I had a bunch of dark spots on my gown from being in the sand. Oops. I asked for wipes.

They brought the wipes but didn't give them to me. They put them on the counter and by the time I saw them, it was time for the walk. Oh well, it's not that bad. No biggie.

So we're waiting in the room and everyone is looking at me really funny. My mom starts looking really close at my neck. I got a bug bite in the carriage so Candace starts putting makeup on the spot.

At this time, Ken pops his head in for the girls to get ready. They all run to the double doors and I sneak a peek (I know, I know) and there are the guys!! My heart jumped! I couldn't wait to see Frank. I wondered what he was thinking.

I saw Frank at the front of the line looking around or stretching his neck. There was a chance he'd turn and my dad was telling me to get back in the room and stop peeking! So I did as I was told after trying to sneak a peek.

Then I hear all the music coming into through the speakers. I didn't hear any of the things I had asked for as the prelude music. (note: one of my guests has since told me how she did hear every song I asked for) Then I hear Canon in D start and the girls go down the aisle. I couldn't watch them because Frank was facing my way by this time.

They went down and by this time, Ken was having me and dad get ready. We walked across the breezeway and we're standing there. At "THE" doors. It felt great. I felt warm and fuzzy inside. I wasn't nervous- I just wanted to see Frank.

My dad, however, was SHAKING. He was absolutely a wreck. I guess I am the only one who knows what chiming of the hour is, but I'm glad because I was prepared. I had rehearsed this moment again and again in my head. I looked at my dad, Ken and Cassidy (I think) were standing there. I said, "Dad, this is the longest three minutes of my life....... other than the pregnancy test."

It was just a joke but I couldn't handle my dad getting so bent up again.

I had to break this shaking crap. My dad was ready for this- and I didn't need *him* to be freaking because I was doing OK. His face broke and everyone started cracking up- Ken and Cassidy couldn't believe I was such a crazy bride. I am still amazed I kept my crude sense of humor through all of this.

The chimes stopped. I had been counting.

This was it. This was the moment I had spent my whole life dreaming of. The doors would do the "Disney" Open. They'd swing open and a whoosh of air would hit me and Frank and all my guests, family and friends would be looking at me. My dad was giving me away. My life would change forever. It would never be the same again. I was no longer going to be a King, I was going to change my name. I was going to change who I was and I was leaving where I came from.

Everyone was on the other side of those doors- it was like the Berlin wall- they wanted to be on my side and I wanted to be on theirs. We all wanted to know what was going on "over there." I knew they'd all be standing up waiting for me and I knew Frank was either really losing his mind or really excited. I wondered there.

The world stopped for this 30 seconds. It was a moment I could never forget. I was fatter than I'd been in a long time and I've always battled with my weight. I looked awesome. I felt beautiful. I thought about how I'd prayed my whole life for God to prepare a husband for me and this was that guy. Since I was a little girl this was all I had wanted. And the doors were going to open.... they were about to open... it was about to be my turn.

 

[Rustyflwr3]

Your trip report is awesome! You look and sound so happy! Congratulations and I can't wait to hear more

Jessica

 

[kegafford]

Great Photos you look Great !!! Your trip report is great.

 

[Mary626]

Thank you for the wonderful trip report so far, I am really enjoying reading about not just what happened but how you felt when it was happening, thank you!! You look gorgeous and I am loving the pictures!

 

[Cinderella Fan]

I just realized that you were the bride that my DF and I saw while we were waiting at the front entrance for the towncar to take us back to the airport. We left the GF on that day, and all I can say is wow. You look great in pictures, but even more so in person on that day. I am glad you wedding turned out so well for you and DH.

 

[faeriegrl]

Aww Angela-

Thank you SO much!! That was the best moment- riding in the carriage by the front entrance.

That means a lot to me.

Thanks again,
Brittany

 

[faeriegrl]

The doors opened.

There was no whoosh of air. There was nothing. I felt like I was in a movie scene where the wind picks up the sound and takes it away and it goes silent.

I looked around as my dad and I floated forward. I don't remember doing any walking... we just glided toward the aisle.

This is the moment Frank saw me. This photo tears me up because his dad was crying hard too!

The first thing I looked for was Frank. I smiled at him. I looked up, I looked down, I looked into the sea of guests there to watch us get married. I smiled. I wanted to enjoy this walk. It was a long, long walk. My dad made sure we walked slow because the only thing my body desired was to run as fast as I could up that altar to marry that boy.

And we got there eventually. We came to the step. Dad wanted to start moving up the stairs but I tugged him. I wanted Frank to come and get me.



Then he gave me away. He lifted up my veil. I could hear Nicole skittering around, fixing this and that. I knew I'd look perfect as long as she was my MOH. She did what a MOH is supposed to do. I felt my veil straighten. My dad did something with Frank, a hug or kiss or something. I forget.

I felt Ira look at me. I felt him cry. I couldn't look at him because I would have cried. Frank was already crying. We are a crying bunch.

Jason started saying those words we had decided on. There was some talk and I don't remember any of it. Then Frank started repeating stuff. And then it was my turn. I wasn't ready for this. I wasn't ready for this part to be here yet. Why didn't we make this ceremony longer?

I repeated what I was supposed to and we began putting on the rings. Frank's knuckle had gotten huge. I just stopped, I didn't want to hurt him and I knew to let him pop it on. And he did.

Then we were pronounced. And I heard our communion song. This was the best moment because it's the moment I remember.

Frank turned to me while we were kneeling and told me he loved me.

I am so glad we did that. We were staring out at the castle, smiling at the water and the lake. Then I noticed our centerpieces were different than I'd imagined. But they worked much better than what I'd asked for. And I realised Laura from Disney had added so many more roses than I'd paid for. I felt blessed. I was married. We knelt there for a moment and held hands and then I thanked God that Ken has suggested fading the song out.

We stood up. We were married. We began walking. I wanted to run out of those doors and get down to business. Oh wait. We had a reception to go to!

Oh man!

"STOP! KISS!"

Evan needed a photo. OK, no prob man. You've been so awesome you can have whatever you want.

We went into the bride's vestibule.

During our "together" moment, Stan came in to take the microphones off Frank. While appreciative that we didn't want this all recorded, I also wanted my alone moment with my husband. We were crying. We were on cloud 9. We were in a lovely room. We were married.

Ken told us to chill until he had everyone ready with bubbles. So we're just hugging and kissing. I was too happy to care but looking back I wish he had just waited to come in with Ken to take the mics. Our moment didn't need to be interrupted.

Everyone getting ready for the bubbles:

I couldn't believe how handsome Frank looked. I had never seen him in a tux. I was glad, too. It was a surprise.

And some teaser pics....

 

[faeriegrl]

Our awesome pics from Evan at Patken are back. I couldn't be more ecstatic!! I LOVE EVAN!!!!!!

I will add them into the recaps when I get some energy!

 

[faeriegrl]

So Ken gets us from the Bride’s Vestibule and everyone’s all lined up with their bubbles.

We walked through the bubbles. It was SO much fun. I am glad we did a line-up. We got into the coach and took off. Frank yelled out, “This thing has six horsepower!” Everyone was laughing and clapping.

The motorcoach was there, a regular yellow mears coach. 12 people rode it. Total waste of money for us. Oh well.

The carriage rolled back around and then we went into the WP for our pictures. They started tearing down our stuff and putting up stuff for the next bride, who I knew. I was like "I know her, I know her!" "OMG it's so pretty!! I want to stay!" LOL.

Pictures were a pain because of my family. His mom refused to smile in any of the ones with just the four of us. Frank was so upset about that and so was I. Even if we didn't get along now, we might later and she'll regret it then. )O:

Everyone took the motorcoach for the 2nd round to the reception location.

We rode the coach back to the GF and people were waving and clapping and yelling at us. Everyone who was unloading their cars just stopped and their jaws dropped. The little girls were either tugging their parents’ clothes or shying away but watching intently. It was just awesome.

We rode straight past the lobby area, through the walkway, and right to the Grand Floridian Marina area.

We got out of the coach and Evan got some great photos of us walking to the Grand I.

Stan filmed us leaving, as I had mentioned using this at the end of our video as we wave goodbye and sail into the sunset.

Evan got on the boat with us because I wanted some of those shots. I haven’t seen any on-the-boat shots and I felt it would really set us apart and fulfill Frank’s request for a boat. He just loved the boat. Evan did, too. It was a well-needed break for the three of us and we just hung out, drank sparkling cider and chatted it up with the crew.

You know those HUGE riverboats that ride on the lagoon? Well there was one, FULL of people, they were all hanging off the decks. The captain blew the airhorn three times and everyone was screaming at us and waving! Every single boat with people on it, honked at us. We were sitting on the front of the boat at that point. It was so nice. There was a seat and plenty of room for my feet. The dress was kind of squished but who cares, right? The breeze was much needed. It was already 78 degrees. Hottest day yet in December. Figures, because I wanted it to be cold! I was about to break a sweat (I do very easily.)

We just enjoyed every minute of it and before we knew it, we had circled the little island and were heading straight for the Contemporary. We saw this crazy light on the water. We couldn’t figure out for the life of us what it was.

My dad’s best friend had gotten out his wife’s compact and was making the sun shine on it to reflect on the water so we’d look up. ALL of our guests were outside cheering and waving for us! It was incredible. You could hear everything they had to say- even out on the Marina.

At this point we got off the boat and met Ken’s assistant again. She was so sweet. They both were! Our prior planner told us how "long" the walk was. Whatever, it was cake!!! And I loved walking around in my dress. This was one of the best “us” things we did. Guests were yelling and clapping left and right, everywhere we went.

We went up the elevator and back into the smaller banquet room at CG. They had an artist’s palette with all of our pre-reception items, and sparkling cider and water for us. I ate almost all the food because I was terribly hungry. Frank couldn’t believe his bride was pigging out!

The assistant bustled me up and we got ready to see our reception for the first time.

Ken briefed us. Walk out, your dad will announce you and I will tell you “go” when it’s time. Your dad will take you to the first dance spot because your guests just kind of seated themselves. Oh. Ok (O:

To be continued...

 

[sajetto]

OMG....I'm seriously tearing up. I've got to hear more!

 

[FutureAshleyDukes]

Your wedding photos are absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!

 

[cryssi]

congratulations! love your photos!

 

[happylalagirl]

Oh my goodness!! I can't wait to hear the rest of your trip report!! You are a beautiful bride! congratulations!! I needed that detailed report to remind me of how wonderful it will be in December when we get married. I guess I just have the January blues...

Diane

 

[faeriegrl]

Looking back, I am glad I pushed for our December wedding. I wish I had made my girls wear the dresses I really wanted, but they were not nice about it at all. It would have been worth the fight.

Our wedding actually was perfect in every sense and I couldn't be happier!!

I will add more once I write it. It took almost two months to write just this much so it will take a while longer (o;

 

[rosiejo]

Oh no... Brittany don't leave me hanging!

Your wedding sounds AMAZING - I LOVE your photos - I'm feeling all teary reading your story and seeing your pictures... please please come abck and tell us more about the day...

 

[Laurafoster]

Your pics are lovely! and your flowers are so gorgeous!
